rewrite

[purencool]

I am trying to rewrite a url and not having much luck. the current urls is,

 

http://work/cms/index.php?p=contact

 

what  I would like is

http://work/cms/contact

 

 

My htaccess file has the following rule

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/.php /index.php?p=$1 [NC]

 

But it is not working can anyone give me some idea what is wrong?

That rule is nothing like what you need. Can I suggest you find some tutorials?

 

It's a pretty basic rule you need but your not going to learn anything if we just hand it to you.

Ok thanks how can I test the  Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on is working?

[trq]

You could do so using the rule you currently have. Just place....

 

if (isset($_GET['p'])) { echo $_GET['p']; }

 

in your index.php file and go to http://yourdomain.com/foo.php

 

If it echo's foo it's working.

it works if I type http://work/cms/contact.  But it is not rewriting the url do I have the correct assumption.

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/.php /index.php?p=$1 [NC]

 

Is this happening because of  my expression or do I need to look for more. I don't want the answer I will work it out I but some direction would be great

^/([^/]+)/.php

 

Thanks for your help

ok worked it out,

 

RewriteRule    ^([^/\.]+)/?$    index.php?p=$1    [L]

 

but the links in the app were set to index.php?p=foo so when clicked it was displaying the link. When these were changed it work perfectly.
